Hafez had exclusively revealed to KingFut that he is in talks with Lens to join the club next season. However, Mido explained that the Ligue 2 club have only made an inquiry about the player’s availability but their interest haven’t materialized into a formal offer.

“Karim Hafez is nowhere near Lens, we only gave permission to the player to go there [to France] and talk with the club,” the former Tottenham Hotspur striker told KingFut.

“We haven’t received any offer from Lens, only an inquiry about the player and his availability. Karim is one of the best left backs at his age and he will only go to a place where we think he can develop.”

“Lens is a big club and a good option but we have other interests from other clubs in Belgium, Germany and France,” Lierse technical advisor added.
